LEANING ON A CBUTCht

All of this would indicate that the pdi-vate capitalism ystm is sick and thatit needs subsidies from the fedeml goy-er,,nelt to carry on. It also indicates thatthe heavy cost of the great depressionbeginning in 1930 was borne in largepart by the collective wealth of the na-tion and that the situation was savedby such subsidies.

These figures pose a question to thecitizenship of the Uniterd States: Is thesystem of private ,pitalilsm dead or dying, and what is tbh ntloohk for private

enterprise in these United States?Professor Stuner II. Slihtber, Harvard

University, has facedl the problem with

Behind scenes, strugglegoes on for survival, with goodchances that private capitalism

will emerge alive

frankness and courage in an address ofrecent date given before the InvestmentBankers Association of America. Profes-sor Sliehter notes with a good deal ofdisnmay that there is a great deal of pes-simismi in the United States about thesystem of private capitalism, and this isin marked contrast with the spirit of theBritish nation. Professor Slichter pointsout that stock prjies in Great Britaineven in the face of a torrential world warhave risen 20 per cent in 1941, while theyhave fallen in the United States about15 per cent.

WHAT MAKES SUCCESS?

(f great interest to labor is ProfessorSliehter's direct answer to the question,what is the outlook for private enter-prise hi America? We quote: "The suc-erss of private enterprise depends on giv-jig employment. If industry does a goodjob of providing work and econoioe op-portunity, the government on the wholewill leave good enough alone and willconfine itself to dealing with special sit-uations,. On the other hand, if privateenterprise does a poor job of giving em-ployrent, the government will do some-thing about it. The result will be that thedecision of many industrial policies willbe transferred from business m.. en andtrade unions to the government."

It is to be noted that Professor Slighterlinks business men and trade unions to-gether in the making of industrial po 1i-cies. Free trade ullons have developed inlprivate capitalism and it is questionedwhether trade unions can remain freein a system of state capitalism or statesocialism.

Professor Slichter goes on to point outthat no one expects that the governmentiS going to take over the hundreds ofthousands of concerns uipoin which wedepend for our standard of living. It israther that the government will be the

determining factor in making crucial de-cisions in policy which will affect busi-nes.s and trade unions.

The professor puts the job of furnish-ing full employment directly up to busi-

ness. He finds that the outlook for pri-vate capitalism depends upun (1) currentrelationships betwee n costs and prices;(2) prospective relathnships betweencosts and prices; (3) the willingness ofinvestors and business enterprises toemlbhark upon venturesou e undertakings;(4) the rate of technological change.

UNION INFLUENCE IN PRODUCTION

He adds a word of great comfort tolabor in his analysis of these problems.

te says: "Many union leaders, especiallynational leaders, know that the standardof living of workers cannot be raised veryfar unless the productivity of inmtstryis raised. Even such a modest standard as$1,000 a year for every man, woman,and Child would require a 50 per cent in-cr.ase in output- a national productionof $140 billions. Unionism does not neces-sarily Tiea, that management cannotmake arralge.ents to discuss problemsof sdety, production, quality control, andtraining with shup eonlniittees, and toobtain froml such .onm.ittes many sug-iestions for raising plant efficiency. Infact, most unions are glad to select stopconmnttees for that purpose, Satisfac-tory employer-union relations need to bejased upon the understanding by the henof operating and competitive problems Ifthe business which such committees cangive.

"Rough equality of bargaining powerbetween labor and eployers requires inmany industries organization by employ-er,. This is especially true in industrieswhere employers are slall. It is eventrue in other industries, because a largeautomoble manufacturer, far exa mple,cannot afford to be shut down while hiscompetitors take the bauiness. The possi-bility of maintaining reasonably satisfac-tory relations between costs and prices,therefore will depend partly upon thevillingness of American employers to

organize for the purpose of protecting the,,turn on capital. At the present timethere are few organizations among Amer-ican employers for bargaining with

unions, and those which exist are nearlyall weak, with little money il their tress-trites and little authority over their mnem-bers,. The success of collective bargainingin Sweden and the United Kingdom ispartly attributable to the fact that em-ployers have formed powerful nationalorganizations to protect the retuir oncapital.

GREAT CITIES LIKE DETRO IT }HAVE BEEN BUILT BY THE THRUST AND DRIVE OF PRIVATE CAPITALISM

UNION RECOGNITION: ANINVESTMENT

"Incidentally, ,-ecognition of Umionsand attempts to work out friendly rela-Dions with thei are likely to be cheaperfor business than attempts to preventthe spread of unims by granting wageincreases-as many enterprises did in1936 and 197 Betwn 193 nd 97 thehourly earnings of factory workers ad-vanced 12 per eat. This increase "as notin the main directly proiduced either bytrade unions or by the government. It waslargely produced by employers who ex-pertedl by raising wages to destroy theinterest of their employees in laborunions. The effect was the opposite. Whenthe enc saw wage increases popping allover the landscape, they said: 'Than- isa lot of easy money around, If we or-ganize we can get more of it.' So this at-tempt to check the spread of organizatio

tinmulated it, and meany ,, employer whogave onm wage itc..a.e to prevent hismen from organizing was compelled togiee another."

On the whole, he finds the future nottoo dark, He bases bIs uaptkn sisl u..a lt.ability of industry to increase its ca-pacity, t, improve products and methodsas rapidly as was done in the last 20 years,and its ability tn discover improvemnentsin products and Ir'cesses. He thinks theconfidence of the public in private capi-talian will play a great part in its come-back. He believes that much of this powerto recuperate is going to depend on thekind of executive which private capital-ism is able to develop,

Quite often the system of privat, capi-talism is d.esribed aI the proit system.As far as the return on investment goes,the system of private capitalism is verymluch alive in America today. The Na-

tonal TIdustrial Conference Board. anemployer research organization. in a sur-vey recently completed, reports that theirate of net earnings for 1940 amnotedto 7.19 per cent, the highest level everattained. The highest prevovls return wasin 1980, when the tape was only 5.69per Fet., Even in 1929, the great year ofsuccessful capitalism, it was 643. Theboard predicts that 1941 will show aneven greater iase in average net earn-iugs. They even predict that it may be28 per cent over 1940.

PROFITS ZOOM UPWARDTaking this as an indication cf what

we may expect in 1942, it is interestingto note that 1941 was a banner year forprofit. Six hundred and twenty-nine largeindustrial corporations showed total netprofits in 1941 of $2,181,000,00, a 20 pItcent increase over the previous year, Ifyou glncee at some of the returns for bigaggregates of industry, you will findthat iont and steel made a 15 per centince. se in 1941 1ver 1940. Machinerymade an increase of 24.7 per cent OV.ar1940. Automobiles made an increase of19.8 per cent. Foods, beverages andtobeaco made an increase of 12.2 per centover 1940; oil production and refining.54.5 per cent increase.

Much iore startling than these figuresare individual returns. The United States

Stel Crompany made 182.2 per cent in-treas~e sie d139. The American Ma-(hine & Metals Company nlade 591.9 percent over 1940. The Aviation Corpora-Lion made a 2.677.7 increase over 1940.The (enoral Steel Casting; Corpora-tion made 195.i per cent itcrease ove!r940. Getrral Tire and Rubber Co. made

104.5 per cent hn-reast over 1940. TheSavage Ar,,,s Co, made 2332 per ceIsincrease over 1!40. Yes, if the measureof the vitality of private capital is profts,the private capitalis ytm is verymuch alive,

FASCISM AHEAD? NO!Quite recently Paul F. Cadman, econo-

mlist of the American qainkti A..ocia-tinn. also faced the problem of what hasbecome of the system of private capital-ism. M5I, Cadman denies the fact thatmuch of the capital in hanks in the formof United States Bonds means that thesystem of pivate capitalism is gone. lieays: it is onctivabie that at the close

of the war that the bulk of assets of theAmerican banking system will be inUnited States Bonds, and this possibilityis frequently used by careless thearistsaid totalitarian economist as evidencethat the government will then practicallyown the banks and that it will be onlya short step to taking them over.

"Nothing could be further from thetruth. It not only is reasonable but im-portant It assume that this countryis not going to have state socialism orcommunism ot any other fascist type ofgovernment at the close of the war. If

DEMOCRACY ad LABORIBy J. SCOTT MILNE, Vice President

J SCOTT MILNEIntenlattn.. Vice Presidemt. Ninth District.

HE present world crisis has s timulatedall of is to Ire-exal..i IC the basis of

lour demosatic institutions. One thingseems pretty certain; that is, that thebasis for democracy is universal freeeducation. These citizens of the NorthAmerican continent have all been theheneficiaries ol the public school system,and all of us who have been studmils Ofhistory know that organized labor hasplayed an honorable part in the forma-tion of a system of popular edulation andin its protection.

Free public libraries may well be regarded as an indispensable part of publiceducation. libraries make it possible fostudents in public schools to supplementth eir a d tlc .be om thepost-graduate schools of the gnat nEasesof citizens who either must forego nluehforeal education or pass through theportals of the schools.

HOSPITABLE READING ROOMS

As far as I know, all public librarieshave been genero.us and hospitable to

wvorkingmen and especially to mit-of-work working men in their periodicalrooms and in their general reading roIms,in giving space to those who COme to

read newspapers and tnreaTIns and whoseek specialized ufrinfntion from bookN.If the public library did no nre thanthis, I believe it justifies is existence.

I do not believe that librarians, ingeneral. tor the general public recognizesthe fact of the deep and abiding interestof the workingman in the literature ofhis trade. The electrician, the plumber.the machinist all are proud of thehicraft ald all constaint Ilylrs, aidditionainformation on the know-how of thetrade. Libraries could well establishspeial IebmS or special shelves of booksrelating ta the technical problems io agiven trade, There, iight be an eeet riemia's room, macnahinist~s room or aph,,nbe's r.omo in the lage librarieswhere these c.raftsmen couhl go and seeksolution; to Ispecially Iificnfat prohblml.

RICtH LORE FOR API'RENTICE

As you know, the apprenticeship ean-mittees of our great respective eountriesale constantly stimulating the fornationof formal classes of tradesmen . n.derthe auspices of labor and management.anI such rooms would furnish quick andeasy access to these students to the

[lrper literature.There has grown up, too, over the

last generation in our respective coun-tries a literature which might be calleds'cial literature-i, poetry, novels andpltny-which might form a hasis for dis-play in any important library.

The recent death of Edwin Markham,the San Jose poet, might have hbrought areview of his life ad w'ork in picnuresand in poetry, and I a, here to tell youthat such a display would be welconedi bythe working peopli, for they revere thememlory of this Ilna, profoundly. Toooften this socia literature has beenneglected. Last summer when I was inlSan Jose, I visited the long-time homeof Edwin Markham and saw he so-called "hoe" room. It was a thrillingexperience, hi talking with the editorof our official JOURNAL, I learned thatboth in Canada and the United States

ur union miemnbers responded q.ichls toan ythirg published in the JOURNAL re-forring to Edwin Markham.

AS a matter of fact, our own member-ship is not i.nsen si tive to ita oia n If asocial note. The paIes of our oflicial,hRRNAL roten carry verse of perhaps

none toL! good technical quality hiehhas true social feeling, and at times thisverse. reaehes an unusual standard.

LABOR'S OWN PUBLICATIONSIn the main, the workers that I know

best have no fault to find with the serviceof the public libraries, I believe I amreading their sentiment aright when Isay hat they expect is parity. Theyexpect no special favors but they con-sidel' themselves a part of the con...unityand believe their special interests shouldbe rep.resentted on the idbrary shelves aswell as the interests oif employers, busi-ness men or any other group. Many ofthe official magazines of labor unions areof high journalistic order. Our membershelieve that these magazines should bedisplayed with the same degree of prom-inence as other trade publications, andunusual articles appear in then thatshould he called to the attention of thepublic by the library just as much as theunusual articles in the Atlantic Monthlyor Harpers or any other publieatiomCertainly such magazines as the AmERI-CAN [EDERATIONXST, the ELECTRICALWVORKERS JOURNAL, the RAILWAY CORERan,, others should be easily accessible toall readers and all publi, libraries.

Labor believes deeply in free publiceducation. Therefore, it believes deeplyin free public libraries. It would defendthem against k and it will supportthem according to its lights.

qa~ffw~ ' MEET WARBy WILlIAM L. GAFFNEY, President, International Association of

Electrical Inspectors

WF'ltiam L. Gaffsary, Portia d, 0Oegoni,heads the imotent electrical inspectorsargatiization this year. The fddress itq**estio was given at Portdan .meeting.September 17; Fresno meetfing, .geptelo-her 22; Detroit meeting, October 5; NewHaven meetitng, October 12; Rich.oend

ieeling, October 17.

YEAR ago your international presi-dent opened his address by sayingthat we were facing a grave possi-

bility of war. How short the time untilthat came true and the JAps had deliveredtheir sneaky blow at Pearl Harbor! Thisshowed their government to be on a parwith Hitler for the acme of treacheryand deceit.

To us comes the task of assisting theUnited Nations in blasting such inhumanforms of warfare and governments fromthe face of the earth. For this world is asmaller space to live in than it vas lastyear, and, due to cience and ingenuity.the doers of the impossible, the Kaisertype of men, distance is rapidly becoteing no barrier and the minds who breedthis menace to our liberty must be re-moved from this world.

CHECK "EMERGENCY"

DEBASEMENT

When I speak of our task in this war,I am lnt referring to the buying ofbonds, the joining of civilian defensegroups or the giving of our sons andtlaughters to the armed forecs of thiscountry, that I take for granted you ire

doing. What I have in mind is what wecan do or strive to do in our owns field ofelectrical wiring. I am not going to tellyou of all the changers that have beenmade in the code, and which are probablybut a small beginning. However, I docaution you to use care ant not go to theextreme and sIt up a condition tinderthis emergency that wouhld ake a sabo-teur chuckle.

The code has allowed the weatherproofneutral for inside iring-governuientengineers have gone further they haveallowed a bare neutral and a weather-

proof lateral for knob and tube oik.Maybe I am wrong, but if I were install-ing such a method I would want to knowthat God was with me and that 11e wouldprevent a fire or fatal accident. Yourmoral responsibility is great, and it maybe that the legal responsibility may resto somie of yeo.

In Connectaio with your legal respon-sibility I wish to read an article lu1'earedby Leslie Childs,.

HEAVY FOREST CRlOWDED THE WATER'S EDGE

We have been confronted with a new problem which we feelmust be called to the attention ol all officers and members of localunions having jurisdiction over hie inside branch of the trade. aswell as officers of local unions hav ing jurisdiction over the outsibidbranch of the trade.

It has happened a number of times that agreements for iheperformance of electrical wvork have been forxvarded to this officewhere such have been negotia ed on behalf of local unions \withcontracting employers whose headquarters are not located witihinIhe territorial jurisdiction of the local union.

The agreements do not always state where the employers' head-quarters are and the result is that we find in many of such instancesa local union having agreed to furnish an employer with men whileat the same time the employer may be operating non-union in someother locality.

This has caused a considerable amount of controversy. There-fore, we find it necessary to adv ise all local unions and representa-tives of the international staff that it is the established policy of thisoffice to require that when negotiating an agreement with a con-tracting employer every effort must be made to find out why theemployer has not negotiated an agreement with the local unionha,ving territorial jurisdiction over the area in which the employer splace of business is established and also make every effort to causehim to negotiate an agreement with the local union in whose juris-diction his place of business is located.

RESEARCH RECORDS faa

Vaa5 */a t .t-Ti e ACTIVITYINETEEN hundred and forty-one-brought Itl America the great com-struetion phase of our war prepala-

tions. Army camps. airplane facttorlesand munitions plants lnilshroomed up atincredible speed all over the map. Walindustries burst their confines again andagain. Housing projects for defenseworkers, air fields and cantonmentsspraig into existence. Shipways, longidle, hummed again.

America was building. Long before thecrashing blow at Pearl Harbor we Ilerebuilding to aid our allies ad[ to protectour shores.

New. construction soared in the UnitedStates from seven billion dollars to 11billion during the couse of that year.

PHENOMENAL INCREASE

All of this bustling adds up into a in-gle picture of work for the conmon man.As the lend-lease program and our mightymilitary machine s.. un into action war-time unde.rtakings took up the slack ill

1941. Trends revealed

Nowvhere is the trend toward reeaVtedVtemployment Illore clearly indicated thanin the wyork record. kept froml week toweek and from a, onth tt, mlntt by thousands of our own I. B. E. X. members.When all added up and finally counted to-gether, )ur members' wok records for1941 sho.ed the highest degree of ,ni-p)loymenCt since our o -ganizati on sltatedil a pioneer movenieint to keep actual.on the job statistics in the drear depres-sIn days of 1931. For last year ulionelectrical workers in all bran(hes of ourt e, including building trades, publicutilities, electrical manufacturing, tIeLphone, radio, maritime and allied indus-tries. averl'ed 1.951 mar,-hours, or close

to Nfl]-thne em p]loym.ent for each me.e-lhe.

This was a gain of 18.6 per ,eeit overour , 1,045 .n an-hours per mlember averagein 1940. It onlOU.ted to I.ore than twoand one-balf times our job opportunlitesin the ow year of 19532.

On the basis of 52 weeks' work of 40hours each. or 2,080 .anl.-hours per mIenI-her as representing full-time year[ly ce-ployment, the I. B. E. W. member.hipaveraged 94 per cent of full employmentIn 1941 as against 71 per cent a yearearlier.

IICE GAIN IN BUILI)INC

Ho. much this pickup was due to thewar-instigated expansion of building activities may be seen whei we point outthat among otu organization's strictlycnstruction or inside" locals employnient rose 27 per ee.t, or from 1,496 mannhoturs, work per member in 1940 to 1.901in 1941. In term.s of eight-hour days thismne~ins a gain frlmn 187 days' employmentfor the individual in 1940 to 238 days in'41.

Probably no other branch of our tradeexhibited such striking strides last year.Yet the picture for the I. B. E. W. as awhole showed an over-all rise fromB 20to 244 days of annual employment per

.ember during this period. Expressed inweekly equivalents, this was the difference between 41 full 40-hour weeks workin 1940 and nearly 49 weeks' work in1941,

IT contrast with the 27 per cent et-ploynment gain of our members in thebuiding trades, our members engaged inthe electric power and light industry re-ported a scarcely significant increase ofonly six hours per man in 1941 over their2,024 mlan hour average for the previousI2-month period. But 1941 employment inthe elect-ic utility field was, neverthe-less, I9 per enit greater than in 1939 andwas cluse to our 2,080 mn,-hour full-time capacity.

The history of I. B. E. W. employmentsince 1931 teflects the experience of aver-age Amelican workers. Through theshifting scenes from near idleness to nearfull capacity employment with maybeoccasiona l periods of overtime, and fac-ing .ov to-a,-] utmost productive endeavor. I. B. E. W. records faithfully mir-lor the story.

What Is A good deal has been said about sacrificeSacrifice? in vartime. No one doubts that the young

mai who interrupts his normal activitiesand goes to the firing line, at risk of his life, is makingsacrifice for his country. No one doubts that themotier who sends her son to fight is making sacrifice.But what about the millions who stay at home and areprotected by the sacrifices of the others? Buying WarBonds is not a sacrifice, but an investment. The in-creased irritations and inconveniences. the lack oftires, the rationling of sugar, meats and other essenu-tials are indeed irritations and inconveniences, butthey can hardly be classed as sacrifices. Nor can thenmany other readjustments necessary to adaptationIt wartime needs. In fact. it might well be argued thatthere are adjustntents productive of national good, in-asmuch as they teach an individualistic people some-t hing of the value and exhilaration of cooperation.

The economic machine is being pushed at a terrificrate. National income has leaped from 70 to 115 bil-lion dollars a year. Proof of the validity of nationalpInalining, and public works on a large scale, is beintgmade. It is likely that Americans will learn a new wayto handle national economy which will he productiveof good to the whole people.

New products are being discovered and invented. Agreat new science of synthetic materials moves rapidlyforward. In fact, a new world of industry is beingnmade in wartime. We make progress.

'True, there is more uncertainty in the world. It istrue there is anxiety and tears. But there is also agreat opportunity,. a magnificent opportunity to capi-talize the crisis for greater progress.

Labor, we beelieve. understands this opportunli forprogress, because working people are used to hirtra-

lions, incorIveflietces and new adaptat ions. The pict 1ireis not all (lark, We can be standing on the rin of agreat new era.

Pressures, For those Americans devoled to do-Right and Wrong mnocracy with their intellects. as

well as with their hearts. the recentspectacle of apparent irresponsibility of the House ofRepresentatives toward the control of inflation has

Ibrn exceedingly painful. Yet the fault is not entirelythat of the (ongress. And it is important that thistruth be realized, lest our faith is weakened in a basicinstrument of democracy. Nor is it sufficient to let thematter drop with the miere observation that the repre-s~ntatives of the American people were subject to apressuire group. For the members of the pressurepr¢ip, too, were American. Are we, then, to concludethat the American farmers are more selfish and lesspatriotic than other Americans? That is what ourfascist enemiies would like us to do. Such a conclusionwould be detrimental to national unity as well asbeing false.

American farmers are not lacking in patriotism.They and their sons and brothers-as well as unionnmnebers and their sons and brothers-form a sub-stantial part of the nation's armed forces, We believethat the American Farm Bureau Federation does nottruly represent the American farmer. We believe. fur-thermore. that to the extent that some bona fide farm-ers do support the "Farm Bureau line," they havebeen misled, deliberately or otherwise. In being misled

hbey have suffered in common with many other Amer-icans who hold the mistaken oiinion that the increas-rig cost of living is directly a result of increases in in-

dustrial wages. Among the facts they do not know isthat the cost of living increased long before wagesincreased and that accelerated industrial productionresults in a decrease in the unit cost of labor.

It is the obligation of responsible citizens of a de-mocracy to supplement their good intentions withsound thinking. It is a part of the special obligation oforganized labor in a democracy to inform the Amen-can people of such facts as those mentioned here.When these obligations have been fulfilled we shallhave a right to expect more intelligent conduct fromour representatives inl Congress.

Electrical Industry A threat of a power shortageParamount calls attention anew to the basic

importance of the electrical in-histry. The expected need is: 1942, 249 billion kilowatt

hours: 1943, 285 billion kilowatt hours: 1944, 305 bil-ion: 1945. 326 billion.

This is a gigantic task. and it probably will entail(1) building new generating stations: (2) a certainkind of rationing, that is, elimination If less essentialconsumption, and the staggering of use away fron,peak loads. It involves conservation of manpower inthe electrical industry, andi the wise induction ofl(Ihr men back into and apprentices directly into the

bndustry.

If electric power fails. production lags. and fallsshort of goals. The crisis presents a great opportunityftr tle industry. It is unfortunate that the industry is

divided, backward, when it comes to industrial plan-ling, old-fashioned whe, it comes to cooperation, oftendirected by furtive ColefIs, and inadequate.

What Price Standard Armericans know they have aof Living? high standard of living. For

rank and file it is still the high-est in the wriL. To most Anmericans, the Americanway of life means just that: the right to carei agodliving and to advance, without bar of caste or class.to a higher economic level. This. f coutIse, Mealxl.more than economics or materialism. It mealns achance for self-developnment for noan, weaoanl andchild; leisure, education and rIereat oil.

What is it. then, thai lniakes citizens of otheri ntionswillieg to lie on battlefronts for their country? Onemay answer loot, plunder, glory, self-exultatimn.Perhaps it is a search, by robbery. fror a higher stand-ard of living.

The issue, of course, is plain. Wi]I Americans givetheir all as willingly as citizen-soldiers who havemuch less?' The nazis say "No." Anericaus haveproved ahleadl that they will.

Ahove the Ilarold Butler, new British minister ofPhysical infornation Io t he United States, has al-

ready done distinguished service in theinternational field. As director of the InternalionalLabor Organization, lie is well known to hundreds ofAmerican labor leafiers aid regarded highly. Ah'eadyhe has manirested, in the few months he has been hilthe United States. a profotunld knowledge of Anme'ikai,psycholog, asi d has done munitih to Iundercult ete nipropaganda designed Io divide Anmerica from theBritish (CommonniWealth.

If we eannot make it tri-tinph: if we ean not nmak the cecessary sacrifices lomake the moral triumph: if we will not fight Io makeit triumph, we deserve to go down to defeat."

An Industrialist William S. Newell, resilenl of theSpeaks aih h'on XWork s Bath, Ma in.

has issued a remarkable sta lemetalto his employees oln the union shop. Mr. Newell says:"I have watched and st udtied this question, its plinii(i-piles and ils operation delniig the past few years, andI am noi t'uil of the opinioln that pr~perly opeiatedby both empflo)ees and mlaniagement ii call be hI/nfinest thing for so-called 'Labor and 'capital' wI'

Scarcities! In tig b1 abundant America!Yes, we were warned months ago wewould have them. At first it was onlysugar. Then, for us in the East. gasoline.And now it seems they are poking theirugly heads out everywhere we look.

"No haeon today, lady! No beefsteak.We olo't hoive any miov canlned salmonTuna fish? Hia, Ha! No raisins till thenew pack conies in. Coffee? We're soldout of your brand. What you see thereis all that's left. Thkae won't be anymore canned dog food."

Tires for the car? Oh, my! Wherehave you been'? Radios? A new electricfanl? Silk hose? Well, this list couldbe continued for some time, but whybother? We all know we are producingfor war, and that we have an army to feed,and that mIaly materials formerly In-ported, such as tin and rubber, are rutoff. So h by Um oa ?

The pioneer got along with far lessthan you will ever have to do. He wasthrifty, handy and tough. He gloried inovrconming dificulties. This should bethe splrIt or the war-i nit housewife. Inthis spirit we lire passing on SOle ieIwhousehold hints,. gleaned from manysource~s.

Fuel saving: Oil rationing seents a cer-tainty O. tile Eitern seaboard. .Nmatter where yon live, you should be eco-nomical with fuel this winter. Her, aletips on how to get more heat from eachtinit of fuel burned: IRave your heatiingequipment, chimneys, etc, put in firstc, la.. .o..]iti.n. Insulate the top floorceiling andI outside walls if you cal af-ford it. (lose all unused vents anid fire-places. Shut off ..... sed rooms and don'theat them. Taritiuh¥ thermiestat dtwvn anudpile the blankets on at night.

Meat substitutes: In considering .i..atsubstitutes you nmst try to find somethingwhich will be a true substitute for nleatin the diet. Meat is valuable for itsreadily-assimilahl proteins, its B vitamine a nd its satisfying quality whichgives a feeling of energy and well-heklg.

For thie Salie effiient protein that iscontsined iu meats. substitutw eggs. nolk.cheese. poultry, fish and shell fish. Pro-ein also is contained in such v egetables

as peas, beans, and particularly soybeans;nuts, peanuts and grains, particularlywhole grain,. Use these in abundanecand variety because it takes m/ore of theelIt equal the wore concentratted proteinof ... 2at.

substitutes isted a1oke you will also bereceiving appreciable amounts of tha,-ro.iec and -ibofi rfi,, two other vitamins inthe B complex.

Think what Dar'l Iooue would havedone if he hadn1l't killed that b'ar, and ustey.., I culitniiY talent to tile utmost.

Siltar rationing: If you find sugar ra-tioning cramps your style write to theConsumer Division, Office of Price Ad-miistratgino, Washington, D. C., fur a freecopy of 'Reciple to Match Your SugarRation.' This handy little booklet will

show you how to make a great varietyof desserts, including fruit cobbler, puddirgs, ice ,wralni mousse, ci ts' ardOs cakes,cookies and pies without using anY sugar,and you will generally finl the flaevomuch bette r with the honey, sorghum,cane, corn or 'alde syrup you substitute.

Salvage: A good item for salvage is oldkeys. Old keys, particularly the flatvarmity, contahi approsi mately 80 per,ent of nickel silver, badly needed for warproduItion. I, the building where youwork, or in a plrunmi..nt location in y5ourcommunity, place a box for old keys withthe slogan, "KEYS TO VICTORY," witha catchy couplet such as, "In this box dropyoure od keys, and batter Iitler to hisknees." You will garner in a good lIarvest.

Loinit throw aw;ay those cherished mle-rueittoes, the old silk sltokiags. Get themtogether because there will probably bea specinl campaign to turn them in so thatthe Navy can have them for powder hags,Raymon and nylon will not stand up for thispurl)ose. It's poetic justice to bat the Japwith our old silk when he is firing our oldscrap metal at Ils.

Pet food: If you don't havks enough tablesc-raps to 1id Towsee or Kitty, buy somecfresh hog liver or hog kidneys at thelutcheris. Boil for I5 or 20 minutes. Putthe imeat thtough you, r food u- e aidmix ii,- togethtr wiLt the broth inl thekettle, with dry bread scraps, left-overvegtetables. ,creal, or d ry dog food to takeup lhe juice.

How to buy cheese: For best advantage,buy cheese in bulk. Best buy: Americancheddar, sliced and sold by the pound.This may be selected in various degreesof mild or shap flavor.

the consumer, and in these trying timesit will pay you to get acquaited with the

Co-op. Among the products which I findat the Co-ap and NOWHERE ELSE are:Dry skim ,iilk whih ay be mixed audused the same as fresh milk. When asiall[ .t..OUii of butte is added it is qato whole milk in nutritive values, a.d thecost is less than half.

In my short experience in the laborworld we have had mlany me!, in public officewho started out to give us fiery and effectiveleadership, in avercoming our social and ce-1orlic difficulties, only to fold up when hiscapitalistic bosses cracked the whip when he

rnod on their toes,It made me very proud as a member of the

I B, S. W to see the respect that was shownoto our organization in the persons of Broth-cr5 Jack McBride, Ernie Ingles, Nig Tracy,Fred Keeley and Jack Noble. Every commit-tee of any importance had one of our men onit Every committee,. that is. except the ladiesauxiliary. although now I coLue to think of itTracy was missln E a couple of sessions. May.te that's where he was.

Ernie Ingles was so bsy in andi out ofmeetings they had tu repair the revolvingdoors while we were there. They also rein-forced the carpets.

Jack McBride, Mrs McBride antd theiramiily mode everybody, especially memberseif the I. B. E. W., very welcome. The flist togreet us ant the Iast to say good-bye Winni-peggers must have learned their hospitalityft-m the McBride family.

WOMAN MEMBER WINS AWARD

First awards of Certificates of Individ-ual Production Merit were a.nnoueh. dlast month by the War Production Drivenational headquarters for ideas which

resulted in improvements in war produc-tion. Sixteen men and one woman ,erehonored. Heading the list, and the onlywoman to receive an award, is Mrs.Eonnie Lee Smith Lewis. a member ofL. U. No. B-1048.

Mrs. Lewis, while an employee of theRCA Manufacturing Co., Inc, plant inIndianapolis, suggested the use of

motor-driven wire brush wheel for re-moving burrs found on the moulded

Bell's e nergetic and ceaselIes defense ofWestern Electric. Or, it may he that the groatpro fits iolled up by Woestelrn E-letrf' everthe year, atil Westren% success iu lpepiigthe rate bases of the operating co .pan e5 SOhigh are the reasons.

TI his hook "The Boll Telephone Systemnineiden tally this book will he sent free unn

request dir coed to the secretary of the A. T.& T. just another friendly ittle IsereteeVice President lage guns to considrablelength to explain the many virtues of Wes-ier,! Electrie and its modest proli ts. In act, itis there said. Western has deliberately [iJu-ited its profits."

,r. Page discusses Westetrns pro-fits inItems of percentages of the "gross book costof investment." We have previously seen howiplortant is the difference between book costof assets and book cost of assets less epre-ciation. When depreciation gets to be fi and25 per cenit of book cost, profit percentageson gross book cost becme iicety uadierstated.

But that is not all. If in a year a $50 profiti made on a $100 investment, and only $10

is paid in dividends, the otter $40 becomesa part of the 'investment" After a Successionof sucoh profits, the investment has increasedtreinendously. Bult it is a. investmni r paidfor by customers, not stockholders. Percent-

ages on such a base are accordingly qauiteean ingless as a measure of the ..odefrte-

ness of profits.A. T. & T. acquired Western Eleetric in

1882 and made it the exclusive manufacturerin the United States of telephones under

elle*wned and controlled patents. In the forlowing 16 years the annual ratio of profits toaverage cash jail-in capital was 41.5 torcent. Sine I 1882 there have

6een si yeais in

w1hieh the ratio of net income to fleragecash in vestment wcs ort 100 per reitt.,each in 18 p, cent ii, one yr. These facts

are not presented in Mrt. Page's public ielatioti a volumle. }at they are presented [L theieport of the Federal Comtlaicllatiol.s Con,-mission,

Those , rofit gushers are whatn Iiade Westr ruElectrie e mbarrassing to its parent. When MI.Page said that Western' Electric deliberatelylimited its profits, he may have had inInl..nothe followhIg .... ntttlreinton, a(Ied Marchlbh loth. from F. P. Fish, then A. T. & T. piesident, to nWestor's presideit, . M. Barton

The Wte1tpr Eleetrie CcOilianyv is miakintoo much money. a nd at the present timeit would I"e enormously harmurld to thaIi eaopany and to our general in te rests if it were

ADDRESS, G. M. BUGNIAZET, I. S.

More important still, out if this comes arelationship of friendly harmony--toother speeialislt~swho be cm co-workersrather than annoying interferers in theutimnate "manifest destiny" of somespecialized skill.

I want to all your attention to a fewspedfi, cases of the TVA's efforts tounify the speeialized technical skills anddireet them, toward a single hu.manepull ......

Beginn.ng back in 1935 1 began ham-lifring away inside and outside the TVAon ire print ipal tenet in the "TVA idea,"namely, ihcreasing the income aird theproductivity of the people of the To,-nessee Valley region. With this as astated objective, it was interesting toobserve the unity of response from themost widely varied groups of tehicians.Onle cae oly aon expert engaged inTVA's public health work began makingthe point that malaria control (his con-corn and specialty) and the eliminationof freight rate discrimination againstthis region (a conernl of other TVA eN-perts) were directly related ideas, re-lated of course because they both partlyaccounted for the low income of thept opi. Neither malaria control nor inter-territorial fright rates, both technicalmatters to a degree, were ends in them-selve s.

Another lustration: ti essen tial andni/que part of the TVA idea relates to

niethols o. adiniaistration. Administration'means alere than organization charts. Go ia

otn, administatiel. direction and yon haveloss of liberty; go far enough and you havedecisions enforced by the Gestapo anI thehaM.. Go in the other direction and you havepeople e atiipating il the decisions oftheir government actively and with eon-siderble zeal, an in crease in freedom andIlII "erraponeldir irnirease Ti responadiility

disciplinc. P'roceedng on this basis,belgan a series o public statements on theo.rganizationa chararterItic, of the TVA,partcOlarly deceIntralization of admnicintra-tion as ia Iethod of See. ring the participa-tin, of the people if the Valley in theTVA undetakfing. In the months that fol-lowed I hal one teehnical staff member aftera,,other poI It ofat to me the ways in whichhe felt that in his work this principle ofdeeentralifatLioa was being observed and<levelo'ped.

Iie ag... il you had techn,,icalu watchingthat mark oil the horizon and directing theireftnrts with that Ilark in view, Here againyou had the sense of joining with othersworking on a common principle, a majorassunIptioi, common to a coordinated variety.f technical feldl withii the TVA.

The point of such illustrations is this:Techrbnical effort s can be unified if they

spring fn .. a strong enough, excitingenough unifying idea.

The passionamite devotion to the dignityatii] mupreme 1importane of human belingsand the human spirit that underlies Chris-tianity and Judaism is the mainspring ofdemocracy. litre is a stroig and excitingeon tal a]de~a to unify the work of technicians,admi niltator., theologiar s-all men. Thatsingle illa hap far more to be said Ir it,purely filIo the narrowest utilitarian pointof view, as a mark on the horizon, as a guidewall for the direction of the energies ofa technical society, thou has the unifyingida of the tetalitarians, the glorificationf the power aid force of the state.

"T E exploitation of workers by owners, or

by management control, is still very general in the

sense that no significant change in the ratio between

earned and unearned income has taken place. Both

classes, however, have been forced to accept during

the depression a total distribution 40 to 50 per cent

below normal. This has driven millions of workers

out of the arena of private exploitation altogether

and upon relief rolls. It has ruined thousands of

small investors, and even seriously damaged many

substantial capitalists."
